The Ontario Chaffey Community Show Band will present their final performance of their 2022-2023 season with rousing patriotic and popular music for the close of the Ontario All-States July 4th Parade that will march down Euclid Avenue. We invite you to come out and bring your lawn chairs and picnic baskets to have a grand old time celebrating the 4th of July. As soon as the parade is over there will be lots of room for everybody to find a spot on the grass in front of the Bandshell at the beautiful Ontario Town Square located one block East of Euclid Ave. at the corner “B” Street and Euclid. Just a very short walk from the end of the parade, just south of the Wells Fargo Bank building. Come join in the fun and sun for Independence Day!
